Just when the three major families took different countermeasures against the mysterious boy who suddenly appeared in the Fang family, the Fang family was in a state of peace, for the sudden appearance of Long Yuan, the patriarch Fang Tianjing in the family was ordered not to talk behind his back, not to disturb Long Yuan, all this was to let Long Yuan wait for the arrival of the game, but for this order, there were three people to be separated......

In the back garden of the Fang family, Long Yuan was quietly looking at the opposite side at this time, at this time there were three teenagers on the opposite side of Long Yuan, two men and one woman, the three teenagers stopped Long Yuan, and they were looking at Long Yuan opposite with different expressions.

"You have something to do with me?" Looking at the three of them, Long Yuan asked with a smile.

"Don't pretend to be garlic, you take up my place in the competition, are you embarrassed to ask me what is the matter with you?" the oldest teenager led by the group stepped forward and shouted loudly. As he spoke, a stream of red metallic sand began to cover the boy's right hand.

As the boy spoke, another teenager beside him also began to exert his subordinate energy, a misty mist of water and gas shrouded around his body, and the girl was trembling slightly with long sleeves, and two green stems and vines twisted out of their sleeves.

"Oh, I see. Long Yuan showed a sudden expression, he remembered that among the candidates of the Fang family, there were three people who were originally competing for the strongest people, but now with their appearance, they all stood aside. Scratching his head involuntarily, Long Yuan said apologetically to the three of them: "I'm sorry for taking up your place, but this time the competition of your four major families is really important to me." ”

"Hmph, it's important to you, isn't it important to us?" snorted coldly, and the young man in the lead rushed up as he spoke, forming a fist with his right hand, and at this moment the young man's right fist was already covered with red fine sand.

"Alas......" sighed lightly, Long Yuan's figure moved slightly to the side, and he had already appeared on the side of the young man in charge, only to see the fire rising, the young man in the head seemed to be hit hard, and fell to the side with a cold snort, and at the same time, a blue column of water suddenly rushed towards Long Yuan, "......" The flame twisted, and the orange flame roared to meet the water column, "Ahh With a sound, the blue water column turned into a white mist and filled the air, just when Long Yuan wanted to snort proudly, he suddenly felt that something seemed to be squirming under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw a few green vines sticking out of the ground at some point, and they actually wrapped his feet, making him unable to move.

"This ...... Is it the Binding Map?" Long Yuan said to himself curiously. The flame in his hand also surged towards the vines with the words, only to hear the "sizzling" sound constantly, but the vines continued to grow, trying to grow.

"Interesting......" After saying that, Long Yuan's right hand suddenly exerted force, and even more intense flames poured out from his right hand, instantly enveloping the vines, and finally, in a crackling sound, the vines shrank and retreated.

The vines contracted, and the orange-red flame slowly withdrew into Long Yuan's right hand, Long Yuan looked around with a faint smile, the red sand of the young man in the lead had fallen off, and he was coughing and crawling on the ground at this time glaring at him, on the other side, the young man who made the water sit down on the ground, panting heavily, with a surprised expression, while the girl was pale and looked at Long Yuan incredulously, "You...... Is it a fire division? At least all of them are intermediate divisions, right?"

Without speaking, Long Yuan silently walked past the girl, and said as he walked: "You are far from being my opponent, you should be glad that I participated in the competition on behalf of your Fang family, so as not to let you go up too embarrassed, and finally said, your elemental attribute binding map is good, come on and cultivate." ”

Looking at Long Yuan's distant back, the girl suddenly asked unwillingly and loudly: "I want to know what is your name!"

"Long Yuan, didn't you inquire before you came to me?" Long Yuan's voice came from behind the trees, and no one was in sight at this time. And as he spoke, a gloomy voice also came from Long Yuan's ears: "Long Yuan, after the battle just now, there is not much purple bamboo void fire stored in your body. Frowning in annoyance, Long Yuan nodded in distress and said, "Well, I know the truth, nine ghosts!"

Dake County, a vassal county located in Klose City in the northwest region of the Holy Dragon Empire, except for a few big festivals in the empire, there are almost no noteworthy days in Dake County, but if you want to say no, there are still some of them, probably the two most important days, that is: Liu Tian's anniversary and the family competition of the four major families.

For Liu Tian, Long Yuan was interested, according to Fang Jingtian, the head of the Fang family, Liu Tian is the most famous person in Dake County in the past hundred years, Liu Tian's subordinate division level has reached the fifty-second level of the human emperor-level subordinate division, and when Liu Tian reached the human emperor-level subordinate division, the city lord of Klose City also specially issued a letter of appointment, appointing Liu Tian as the commander of the Dake division on the northwest border, leading 50,000 border guards, and the name of the army is the Dake division.

When Liu Tian was alive, the strength of the Liu family was unrivaled in Dake County, and it was the largest family in Dake County. But unfortunately, after the fourth demon invasion campaign called "The War of Resistance of All Mankind", Liu Tian unfortunately died on the battlefield, and the strength of the Liu family began to weaken continuously, and Liu Tian's son, Liu Zong is even more of a martial arts waste, but when it comes to Liu Zong, Fang Jingtian has another saying, Liu Zong's attainments in calligraphy are unparalleled, but in this world of teachers, no matter how good your handwriting is, what can you do?

After the collapse of the Liu family, many families that had been suppressed sprung up in Dake County, led by the Fang family and the Xia family, and then the rise of the He family and the Nalan family.

Then on a sunny afternoon, the patriarchs of the four major families sat together and discussed the decision to hold a competition of the four major families every year, and with the process of holding it, it gradually evolved into a competition between the successors of the four major families, and for the lottery of the competition, it was an item purchased by the four major families as a reward for the competition, of course, this is only a superficial thing, and in fact, in private, the competition of the four major families will decide to determine the four major families of minerals, forests, and redistribution of resources such as rivers.

"Hehe, so that's the case, it seems that the Fang family has had a bit of a hard time in recent years. After hearing this, Long Yuan smiled and said to Fang Tianjing, the head of the Fang family who was sitting at the top.

Smiled silently, Fang Tianjing did not deny it, the bottom of the past few years made their Fang family worse and worse, Fang Tianjing was also eager to break this situation now, otherwise in a few years, it would become a competition among the three major families.

"This is an opportunity!" Long Yuan said as he stood up from his seat and said to Fang Tianjing.

What Long Yuan said, Fang Tianjing certainly understood, just as Fang Tianjing was about to send Long Yuan away, Long Yuan suddenly turned around and asked, "Patriarch Fang, I wonder if there is any place where the fire element is abundant near Dake County?"

After a little hesitation, Fang Tianjing understood what Long Yuan meant, the subordinate master cultivated near the opposite attribute element, that was twice the result with half the effort, such as Fang Ling, Fang Ling's elemental attribute is a rare binding map tense with wood attributes, and the binding map teng summoned is a plant called a soft thorn stem vine, for this reason, the family also specially planted a piece of soft thorn stem vine for Fang Ling, cultivating in such an environment, Fang Ling's subordinate division level will be improved much faster than others.

"Purple Bamboo Forest, this is not available in Dake County, but there is a large area in Lingjun County next to it. Fang Tianjing said a little apologetically.

Receiving Fang Tianjing's answer, Long Yuan smiled silently in his heart, of course he knew that there was a large purple bamboo forest in Daoling County, and the purple bamboo void fire he was using now was absorbed when he passed by there. But now he has to go back there to absorb it, obviously it's too late, it will be the day of the competition in a few days, he doesn't want to miss it, "As long as it's a place with a strong fire attribute, it's okay!" Long Yuan said again.

"It's okay if it's not a purple bamboo forest?" Long Yuan's answer made Fang Tianjing a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was true that Long Yuan had asked this way just now, instead of asking him if he had a purple bamboo forest, although he was curious, Fang Tianjing still quickly replied: "If you want to talk about the place where the fire element is strong, then don't say that you want to ask me, even if you ask a random person from Duck County, they will give you an answer, that is Tianhuo Valley." ”...,

"Oh? "Long Yuan is interested, Tianhuo Valley, does it have anything to do with Tianhuo Red Crystal?

"The Valley of Heavenly Fire is on the northern side of Duck County, and this valley is not a natural formation. It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a natural disaster in the city of Klose, a large number of extraterrestrial meteorites suddenly fell from the sky, and those heavenly stones came to the earth with heavenly fire, under this heavenly fire, three places are the most serious places to descend on the heavenly stones, one is in the northwest of Menke County, and one is the former Shaluo County, the reason why it is called Once, because under that natural disaster, Shaluo County was completely burned to ashes, and the third place, which is the north of Duck County, the name of Tianhuo Valley, also came from that natural disaster, and Tianhuo ore was also produced at that time。 To put it bluntly, it is actually to dig out those ores infected by the Heavenly Stone, because of the Heavenly Stone, it is in a high temperature ...... all year round" Fang Tianjing explained to Long Yuan in detail, and said to Long Yuan proudly at the end: "Five years ago, the mining rights of Tianhuo Valley belonged to the Fang family. After finishing speaking, Fang Tianjing also realized that yes, it was five years ago!

Leaving Fang Tianjing, who was a little silent in solitude, Long Yuan walked out alone, and the deep voice of the Nine Ghosts came from his ears: "For the Heavenly Fire Rain thousands of years ago, it is also recorded in many classics, and the Heavenly Fire Ore they are talking about now is actually an ordinary stone infected by the Heavenly Fire Meteorite. ”

While pretending to enjoy the scenery, Long Yuan asked in his heart, "What's the matter with the Heavenly Fire Red Crystal?" I think it must have something to do with this Heavenly Fire Crystal." ”

"Well, I only remembered it later, when Yakumo told me about it, I didn't remember it at once. This Heavenly Fire Red Crystal is a special Heavenly Fire Crystal in the Heavenly Fire Ore, and the elemental energy contained in the general Heavenly Fire Crystal is relatively mottled and mixed, and this Heavenly Fire Red Crystal is a Heavenly Fire Crystal condensed entirely from the fire element. The Nine Ghosts nodded, and slowly said to Long Yuan: "The Heavenly Fire Crystal containing elemental energy is already very rare, and it takes a few hundred Heavenly Fire Ore to find a Heavenly Fire Crystal, and now, let alone the Heavenly Fire Red Crystal, which is completely condensed by the fire element." In fact, don't be confused by the word fire in the Heavenly Fire Ore, the Heavenly Fire Ore only refers to the stones that fall to the earth with flames from the sky, and there are four other very precious ones in the Heavenly Fire Crystal, namely Tianshui Blue Crystal, Tianmu Green Crystal, Heavenly Gold White Crystal, and Heavenly Earth Brown Crystal, I don't think I need to talk about the corresponding elemental attributes, right?"

"Heh, it's really embarrassing for the four major families to come out with such a precious thing as the first prize in this competition. Long Yuan said with a smile, this was the reason why he asked to participate for the Fang family this time, as the reward for the first place in the competition of the four major families, a piece of Heavenly Fire Red Crystal the size of a thumb nail. "By the way, Nine Ghosts, the fire energy of this Heavenly Fire Valley can be absorbed by me, right?"

"I think it should be no problem, since the Heavenly Fire Valley presents the form of the fire element, then it should be a kind of residual heat of the Heavenly Fire, and the energy is probably around the tenth level, just enough for you to absorb and transform. The Nine Ghosts replied after a moment's hesitation.

"Well, at that time in the purple bamboo forest in Lingjun County, you seem to say the same!" Long Yuan stopped a little tangled and asked in his heart.

"Hehe, I'm not very familiar with the levels and functions of various elements......" the Nine Ghosts sneered.

"Alas, it would be nice if Yakumo was here. Sighing lightly, Long Yuan said with a lonely face.

"Don't be discouraged, Yakumo isn't anything, she's just going into a deep sleep with too much energy. Seeing that Long Yuan was in a depressed mood, the Nine Ghosts hurriedly encouraged.

"Well, I know that. Long Yuan replied with a smile, and then his face turned straight, and he encouraged himself in his heart: "That's why I have to become stronger!"

Silent, Long Yuan slowly walked out of the back door of the Fang family and walked towards the north of Dake County. Long Yuan didn't notice that when he left the back door of the Fang family, a figure shrouded in gray robes quietly followed behind him.
